Does Fast charging degrade your battery more quickly?

Were talking a battery here, not a nuclear device. Charge it how you want to charge it. I have never taken the time to cut the power to a phone after hitting 80% and never had a real batter problem will my Moto Z-Force and that was most likely due to it sat, connected to a cord, on a stand for almost two years acting as a clock in one of my rooms. I checked it out and the battery had pretty much deteriorated so I replace it. Approx. thirty bucks and an hour at the table. Back living life as a clock again, but could also be used as a phone.

My Pixel 4XL has been either connected to a cord or placed on a wireless charging stand and left to charge overnight since I received it almost two years ago; battery is till going strong...

Thats pretty good, I'm getting my pixel 4xl back today ubreakifix replaced the battery under Google extended battery warranty didn't boot up..

Just FYI, sorry if this has been mentioned but I only skimmed the comments, but with the latest update to One UI you can now flip a switch and stop charging at 85%. Under, Battery and device care>Battery>More battery settings>Protect battery, you can have the device automatically stop the charging at 85%.

Also the issue with charging is not overcharging, like the circuitry isn't controlling it, or charging too quickly, like it doesn't slow to a trickle at that end, is the issue. The issue is that the battery is like water, always trying to find a balance. They don't like to stay at charges over or under a certain percent. One article I read said that if it could stay around 50% it would be happiest. We on the other hand would not be as happy attempting to keep the battery halfway charged all of the time. Fully charging a battery does have an effect the same as fully depleting the battery. With the above mentioned feature and the already available feature to go into power saving mode at lower percentages we now the most control over the health of our batteries that we've ever had.

Interesting that they've implemented a switch to cap charging at 85%... I'm gonna turn it on for a few days just to see how frustrating it is!
